  • Professional Contributors – This curriculum was inspired by meetings with 20+ employers throughout the country, the vast majority of whom indicated that they had a significant interest in hiring college graduates with Supply Chain Management degrees. These same employers were then consulted about our finalized curriculum to ensure that the intended learning outcomes matched their hiring needs. Finally, we worked at length with two Fortune 500 companies with extensive supply chain departments (one fashion company and one furniture company) to verify that the final curriculum covered all learning outcomes and did not include any unnecessary courses.

  • Sourcing & Operations: This course will teach you how businesses manage this increasing complexity behind the scenes through efficient sourcing of suppliers and operations. You will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge by conducting a real-world case study of a product of your choosing.
  • Business Strategy: This course will provide all students pursuing degrees in the Managerial Accounting, Business Administration, and Marketing a culminating experience where all business disciplines are brought together to learn the process for developing strategies plans for enterprises. Students will be introduced to strategic planning and management theories and then apply the theories to real world planning challenges. Students will not only do individual research during the course but will contribute to an integrated planning document. Students will present their research through a formal paper and presentation.
  • Forecasting & Logistics: This course will teach you how to use forecasting techniques to match supply and demand, and how to develop logistics networks that help minimize costs and deliver top customer service.
  • Supply Chain Management Technologies: This course covers the major relevant supply chain technologies and systems. In this course you’ll survey the systems that enable the supply chain in best-in-class supply chain organizations. Understanding of how information flows throughout the supply chain is critical to managing a supply chain and this will be the main focus in this course.

As networks have continued to expand, Supply Chain Management (SCM) has become one of the most critical areas for companies with a need to move products around the globe. A total of 1.4 million new jobs in Supply Chain and Logistics were created from 2014-2018, and this growth is likely to continue as more and more companies recognize the importance of optimizing their supply chain.

Students who secure jobs in this field will be able to have a real impact, as global supply chains continue to proliferate and impact economies and environments throughout the world.
